=if(right(trim(D4);1)="X";left(D4;len(trim(D4))-1);D4)

pls. use , instead of ; in the formula!

Hi Bob,
Works fine for me

it cannot work if you have trailing spaces.

arno

shouldnt it be =IF(TRIM(RIGHT(D4,2))="XX",MID(D4,1,LEN(D4)-1),D4) if he wants
to remove one of the two xxs??

He doesn't, he specifically said just the right-most X.

Hi Bob,
He doesn't, he specifically said just the right-most X.

any single X in the string is the right-most X.

So, Muhammad, pls. tell us:
- Do you have leading or trailing spaces (this would explain the
trim-function in your formula)?
- Do you want to remove an X if it is the last character of the string?
Or do you want to remove only the second X of XX at the end of the
string, or... whatever, just tell us.

Hi. Bob and Arno
thanks for spending time for me. Yes I have leading and trailing spaces in
the specific column thats why i used Trim. Error always comes on ="X" part. I
also used single quotes but invain. I dont want to remove double x i'.e. xx

thnaks again

So do you still have a problem, or was Arno's response working for you?
